There is a huge space for cars to stop, and the traffic is pretty dense. A guy took me (single male) to Prague after 25 minutes

good place for Praha, the access is not that hard, over narrow stream, through the hole in a fence under train station, than go to the right end of the wall and there is no fence and not so steep climb, we got a ride to Praha in 30 minutes with very nice romaian truck driver

I was waiting few hours on monday afternoon, and no one picked me, and 1 hour on tuesday morning without any car. Only good thing is, workers on gas station are really nice, and the forest is perfect for a tent

Two people, from Prague to Krkonoše;
We took a train to Horní Počernice, from where we went to a gas station. We waited at the exit, and after a few minutes, off-duty firefighters took us to Krkonoše.

I stood here multiple times. 100% the best spot towards Chomutov, usually takes less than 10 minutes.

getting taken after half an hour to mikulov. tried it as well on the main road but felt pretty hopeless there.

A good place if you want to go towards Italy, France and Germany or the Czech Republic. We were heading towards Budapest and we had some difficulties to find someone who was driving in that direction. But a lot can depend on what time you hitchhiking. On the plus side, a lot of trucks and quite a lot of passenger car traffic at the gas station. A good place to stop/accommodate. There is a shower, laundry, hostel.

Super easy spot heading west! Cars slow down as they approach the town, and it seems like many are just passing through, heading either west or south. I managed to get a ride all the way to the Czech Republic (hey, Leon 👋). A lot of cars, though!

If you're trying to cross the border into the Czech republic then this is the place to be. Good traffic and it's possible for the drivers to stop just before entering the on ramp. Of you're patient then it should be possible to get a ride to Prague from here.

Impossible trip to the Czech Republic, 4 hours and nothing. it's better to choose a different place

We're extremely lucky, the first car took us until Nordhausen (we're heading to Harz) but generally very good spot for going to Germany. All Germans stops here because the gas is cheaper in the Czech Republic and it's the last gas station before Germany.

I was left here by driver who took me from Krakow (late Sunday) and just after I left the car and asked the first I noticed there (many stop for gas, to rest etc.) I had a lift to connect A1 (I needed to go the the Czech Republic border).

Over one year later, I was here again, and have to take back what I said before. The place where I hitchhiked last year is not a good spot. This time I hitchhiked right next Mercur and ofter 20 mins got a lift to the highway. Unless it is Friday and lots of Poles and Czechs are going home the chance someone will take you to the Czech Republic is low, so hitchhike without a sign, and get as far as you can ;)

Friday morning only few cars were going to the Czech Republic. Waiting 2 hours.
(But good place for spent time - in fuel station is unlimited free wifi and electricity with tables)

not really sure if this was the spot, but most probably it was, anyway, here should be a bus statio which is a great spot towards the Czech Republic, cars stop at the lights and have enough space to pull over. I was there about 30 min and then a guy took me about 20-30 km further.

Decent traffic going to the Czech republic and further. I got a ride with a Slovaki on her way home.

Probably the best place of Grafenau, direction Freyung. There is almost nobody going to the Czech Republic though.

2 of us waited for about 2 hours to get a lift towards the Czech Republic- we got very lucky. It was not a good spot, not much traffic, not many cars going that way. (It was Thursday evening, 5-7pm)

From the city center, walk trough the Rybnicka street. You can stay in the front of BP petrol station. A lot of local traffic, but some of the cars are going to the A4 (Katowice, Krakw or Opole, Wrocaw) or southwards to the Rybnik, Bohumn, Ostrava and farther to the Czech republic)

A lot of cars going to the south direction (München, Regensburg), but almost nobody to the Czech republic. This is not only my experience, but I read a lot of messages saying the same on the traffic signs and traffic barrier on this spot.
